+# This script is designed to facilitate in-tree development and testing
+# by installing symlinks on your system which refer to in-tree helper
+# utilities.  These helper utilities must be installed to in order to
+# exercise all ZFS functionality.  By using symbolic links and keeping
+# the scripts in-tree during development they can be easily modified
+# and those changes tracked.
+#
+# Use the following configuration option to override the installation
+# paths for these scripts.  The correct path is automatically set for
+# most distributions but you can optionally set it for your environment.
